"What? If you're not even brave enough to gamble on this... I guess I'll just pilot an S-rank ship girl instead~"
Pretending to be bored, Zheng Hao was about to walk towards Jian Qinghan.
"You! You!!!"
"I...I agree!"
"If you use the [Demon Ship] to compete and win, I will give you this old servant! But if you lose... I want your [Zheng Family] to release a sea area for my Zhou Family and Liu Family to do business!"
And! You also have to kowtow and apologize to Ruyan!
"Did you understand?!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Hang looked at Zheng Hao with righteous indignation.
There's nothing I can do!
We absolutely have to prevent Zheng Hao from using the [S-class ship girl]!
Otherwise, he would have no chance to turn things around at the [First Sea Gathering]!
His words drew frequent attention from many people on the viewing platform, especially Liu Ruyan, whose gaze towards Zhou Hang held a hint of inexplicable emotion.
"Okay, okay~"
"You'd actually sell out your family for a lousy ship?"
"Okay! Zhou Hang, I agree!"
"I hope you can get ahead of me!"
With a slight smile, Zheng Hao readily agreed and went into the Captain's cabin without saying another word.
"Hmph~"
"This time, I can't afford to lose to you again!"
Zhou Hang glared resentfully at Zheng Hao's retreating figure, then turned around with a smile on his face.
"That's it! That's it!"
"This time... with my talent and He Chao's help, you have no chance of breaking through..."
"Zheng Hao, you just wait!"
"You will repay the humiliation of the past tenfold!!!"
"Thump~"
After the two of them entered the [Captain's Cabin], twenty [Ship Girls] raised their hulls one after another, ready to launch into a sprint!
On the deck of the [Mountain and Sea Academy], Principal Cui Mingyuan slowly ascended the stage. Standing beside him were the [Shipping Alliance] official in charge of awakening and the [Merchant Shipping Alliance] examiner in charge of certification.
The three major forces—the Academy, the Shipping Alliance, and the Merchant Shipping Alliance—made their appearance together, immediately causing an uproar among the audience.
"Holy crap! The official organizers even showed up for this year's [First Sea Tournament]?"
"Of course! With official player Yun Yang here, the officials will definitely send someone!"
"If I perform well, is there still a chance I'll be rescued?"
"I'm starting to regret it! I should have signed up too!"
"Come on... with your skills, you'd stall the engine if you went up there!"
"......"
Amidst the clamor of discussion, Cui Mingyuan coughed lightly, and the scene immediately fell silent!
"Cough cough cough~"
"Welcome everyone to the 27th [First Sea Meeting]! This competition is hosted by Lin Yuanhao, [Shipping Alliance Awakener], and Zhou Sheng, [Merchant Shipping Alliance Examiner]!"
"The sailing route for this competition is 30 kilometers long, running from the outskirts of the [Mountain and Sea Area] to the outskirts of the [Merchant Alliance] and back. Along the way, we will pass through various sea areas such as the 'Seaweed Belt,' the 'Black Sea Reef Area,' and the 'Fish School Area'!"
"All drivers, please drive carefully. Life comes first, competition second!"
"The entire competition will be monitored by sea buoys and the recordings will be broadcast on a large screen!"
"Now!"
I hereby declare!
"The 27th [First Sea Gathering]...officially begins!!!"
